Poltergeist is my favorite movie of all time, it is a timeless classic, and it still holds up after over thirty years because it remains a thrilling, warmhearted, and poignant movie experience.

But whether this is a Spielberg film or a Tobe Hooper film doesn't change the fact that it certainly is a great film in its own right.
